And sure i can also reference a .js from the XSLT and final doc is
transformed to mathml ouput on the fly.
And sure also i could do full match pattern transforming predefined
equations and store several billions of predefined patterns in an external
file.
And sure...
But difficult to believe i was using XSLT for the transformation.

Please point some doing _exactly_ the transformation i wrote.

Combination of XML with LaTeX is common practice since MathML is too
verbose. Several MathML tools work in that way. Combination of c-MathML
with TeX is also defined in the MathML spec.
What you mean by "make a smart bridge between them"
